Abstract
This resolution would have amended the Constitution making it legal for special transportation districts to impose a 1 percent local option sales and use tax for various transportation projects. Voters in these regional districts would have had the authority to vote to impose such a tax. SR 845 did not pass. While the resolution's enabling legislation did pass, it remains ineffective because of SR 845's failure to pass.
